Atrial Septal Defect -
A 3-year-old child was diagnosed with an Ostium secundum Atrial Septal Defect. The ASD device closure procedure was successfully performed using a 16 mm Amplatzer device in our Premier Elite Cathlab. Post-device deployment, an echocardiogram revealed the optimal positioning of the device with no residual shunting, and the patient remained in stable hemodynamic condition.
Our Premier Elite Cathlab, equipped with cutting-edge technology and staffed by skilled medical professionals, played a crucial role in ensuring the success of this procedure.
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital heart defect characterized by an abnormal opening in the atrial septum, the heart's upper chambers' wall. This condition is typically present at birth and is among the most common congenital heart defects. The size and location of the defect can vary, ranging from small to large openings.
The procedure involves the use of a device to seal the hole, a patch to cover it, ensuring improved cardiac function and overall health.
